First Complete Greek/Latin Edition. $ 12,000 "A great Renaissance author and scholar as well as a member of one of Europe's most illustrious families of printers, Henri Estienne II himself edited his grand Plato, for which he commissioned a new Latin translation by Jean de Serres. Together with his monumental 1572 Thesaurus graecae linguae, the lavish Plato was responsible, according to Schreiber, for securing both Estienne's scholarly reputation and his financial ruin." (Garden Ltd., #40) This, the most famous single edition of Plato’s complete works ever published, came out of Geneva in 1578 from the print shop of Henri Estienne (1528-1598) – who is better known by his Latin name, Stephanus. At the time, Henri was one of the most famous scholars in Europe and in this book, based on his own research, he established the definitive version of Plato in Greek. The Stephanus Plato was not the first printed edition of Plato's extant dialogues. It was preceded by the Aldine edition that Aldus Manutius published in Venice in 1513 in two volumes, and another edition printed in Basel in 1534 by Joannes Valderum. This Stephanus edition, however, is deserving of special attention because it has served ever since its publication as the universal reference system for all other editions of Plato and still provides today the basis of the universally accepted way of quoting from Plato. In most translations of Plato there are small numbers in the margin which refer to the pagination in this edition. This affords scholars the opportunity to footnote in such a way that they can cross-reference each other's work in any language by relying on these "Stephanus numbers” – which refer to the page number in the Stephanus edition, followed by the letter (a, b, c, d, e) identifying the section in the page and the line number within that section. All three volumes bound in 20th century full vellum. The spines with six raised bands and a title piece with gilt lettering on a red field for author and title in the second compartment and gilt lettering on a black field in the third compartment indicating the volume number. Large, dated, woodcut device of St. Paul and the olive tree on TP of the first volume, numerous woodcut head- and tailpieces and ornamental initials, text in two columns, in Greek and Latin. The title pages of Volumes 1 and 2 each have a ½” deep circular ink scribble running across the very top of the page obliterating some earlier inscription. The first volume also has a five line contemporary inscription in the free space to the bottom right of the St. Paul device. Overall, a lovely set which is more commonly seen bound as two volumes (i.e. volumes 1 & 3 bound together and volume 2 separate). 1600 The Birth of the Science of Electricity and Early Experimental Physics GILBERT, William, DE MAGNETE, magneticisque corporibus, et de mango magnete tellure; Physiologia nova, plurimus & aegumentis, & experimentis demonstrata.(ON THE MAGNET, and magnetic bodies and on the slave magnet terrella; presenting new knowledge of nature with many new and experimental demonstrations), Petrus Short, Londoni, 1600. TP + [i]-[iii] = Præfatio + [iv]-[viii] = Preface + [ix] = Verborum + [x]-[xiv] = Index + [1]-240, Folio, 282 x 188 mm; 11⅛” x 7½”. First Edition. $ 60,000 With numerous woodcut illustrations and diagrams in text (four full- page), and a large folding woodcut diagram (lightly browned) at page 200. All known copies have numerous ink emendations (not noted in the errata) which some have suggested shows that Gilbert saw the edition through the press personally. The present copy has manuscript corrections on pp. 11, 14, 22 and 47 – but not on p. 63 as seen in some copies. First edition of the first great work of experimental physics published in England; a scientific study of electricity and magnetism. By his commitment to subjecting all theories to experiment, Gilbert became “among the first to initiate the experimental method of science” (Dibner). This work is one of the finest examples of inductive philosophy and even more remarkable for its publication two decades prior to Bacon’s Novum Organum, where that method was actually explained for the first time. “Throughout the De Magnete Gilbert discussed and usually dismissed previous theories concerning magnetic phenomena and offered observational data and experiments which would support his own theories. Most of the experiments are so well described that the reader can duplicate them if he wishes, and the examples of natural occurrences which support his theories are well identified. When new instruments are introduced (for example the versorium, to be used in identifying electrics), directions for their construction and use are included” [DSB]. Studied by Kepler, Bacon, Boyle, Newton and, especially, Galileo (who used his theories to support his own defense of Copernicus), Gilbert’s work is “the first major English scientific treatise based on experimental methods of research” [Printing and the Mind of Man 107]. Published only after eighteen years of personal study and experimentation, this book has Gilbert’s new discoveries marked in the margins with large and small asterisks to denote whether they were significant or minor. Among the 21 major and the 178 minor discoveries is the conclusion that the earth is one large magnet (an assertion that led Galileo to study magnetism), as well as the invention of the versorium, his electroscope or electrometer, the first instrument devised to measure electrical phenomena. In addition, Gilbert showed that a freely suspended magnet is controlled by the earth, and not, as supposed, by extra-terrestrial influence. His magnetic theory enabled him to explain the behavior of the compass-needle, the dip-needle, the magnetic condition of vertical masses of iron, and the magnetic properties of heated iron bars when allowed to cool while lying in the magnetic meridian. In Book 2, which was intended as a digression into the importance of amber (“electrum”) to magnetic studies, Gilbert coined the terms “electricity”, “electric force” and “electric attraction” – clearly establishing his reputation as the founder of electrical science. Gilbert also claimed another, less coveted kind of scientific repute by coming to see magnetism as the explanation for almost all phenomena. This led Francis Bacon to attack him in his Sylva Sylvarum (1626) as being “one of those people so taken up with their pet subject of research that they could only see the whole universe transposed into the terms of it” (Butterfield, p. 56). This singular, scientific phenomena persists into our own days with numerous scientists currently describing major elements of the universe as working “exactly like the computer”. Printing and the Mind of Man 107 Contemporary limp vellum with yapped (overlapping) edges. Spine lettered in manuscript but faded. Foot of spine expertly repaired. Title lightly browned with a few tiny repairs, final few leaves evenly browned with lower margins repaired, some spotting. Cloth folding case. Overall, a very pretty copy of this extremely important book. 1651 Hobbes’ Brilliant Foundational Work in Political Theory “And the life of man[is] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short” HOBBES, Thomas. Leviathan, or the Matter, Forme, & Power of a Common-wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civill. Printed for Andrew Crooke, at the Green Dragon in St. Paul's Church-yard, London, 1651. Illustrated, engraved title-frontispiece + TP + [i]-[ii] = The Epistle Dedicatory + [iii]-[iv] = The Contents of the Chapters + 1-396, folding table between pp 40-41; Small Folio. First Edition, First Printing (MacDonald & Hargreaves #42). $ 35,000 The first printing of the first edition with the winged “head” ornament on the second title page. There are three editions with title-pages bearing 1651 imprints. The second, with a “bear” ornament, was printed outside of England (probably Amsterdam), and the third, with a triangular-type “ornament”, is generally considered to date from around 1680. (See MacDonald & Hargreaves, pp. 27-30 for a full accounting of these differences.) A FOUNDATIONAL WORK IN THE FIELD OF POLITICAL THEORY Leviathan details Hobbes's notion of the origin of the State as a product of human reason meeting human need – through to its destruction as a consequence of human passions. According to Hobbes, the State, as an aggregate of individual men (so well portrayed in the famous engraved title), should always be tendered the obedience of the individual (except to save his own life), as any government is in Hobbes’s view, better than the natural anarchic state.

  • Plato: Influences and Context1
    Θεαίτητος | Theaetetus 1 1. Plato: Influences and Context1 1. Socrates. Plato is a member of his inner circle (Apology 34a, Phaedo 59b). Like others, he began to write ‘Socratic discourses’ (Aristotle) after Socrates’s death, continuing for forty years. Philosophy is a dialectical inquiry. Lifelong engagement with sophists. 2. Politics in Athens. The trial and execution of Socrates in 399 BCE shatters Plato’s political confidence. His aristocratic origin contributes to scepticism about democracy and the philosopher’s role in the city (cf. Tht. 172c). Yet: philosophy flourished in late 5th-century Athens. 3. Italy, Sicily. Plato visits Syracuse three times (see next page). He aimed to meet Pythagoreans, in particular Archytas (Tarentum), whose ideas are discernible in his work: immortality of the soul, mathematics, philosophical community. Consequence: founding of Academy in c. 387 BCE (dissolved in 527 CE). 4. Isokrates. The highly influential rhetor (orator) was a life-long foe. Tyranny at home: political rhetoric does (even) more harm than the Sophists (cf. the confusing logic-chopping in Euthydemus; cf. Tht. 164 c, 197a). Rivalry shapes Plato’s mature philosophy. 5. Parmenides, Heraclitus. Before joining Socrates, Plato studied with Cratylus and thus knew Heraclitean views (flux theory). Parmenides of Elea (Italy, early 5th century): only what is could be an intelligible object of thought—the forms. 6. Academy. Plato’s late work depends increasingly less on Socrates. His own views develop in the academy, in conversation with fellow ‘academics’, such as Aristotle. In 347, there are about 20 ‘disciples’, including two women.2 Leaves no dogmatic canon. Successors: Speusippus, Xenocrates, and Polemo (i.e.

  • Parmenides' Theistic Metaphysics
    Parmenides’ Theistic Metaphysics BY ©2016 Jeremy C. DeLong Submitted to the graduate degree program in Philosophy and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson: Tom Tuozzo ________________________________ Eileen Nutting ________________________________ Scott Jenkins ________________________________ John Symons ________________________________ John Younger Date Defended: May 6th, 2016 ii The Dissertation Committee for Jeremy C. DeLong certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Parmenides’ Theistic Metaphysics ________________________________ Chairperson: Thomas Tuozzo Date Defended: May 6th, 2016 iii Abstract: The primary interpretative challenge for understanding Parmenides’ poem revolves around explaining both the meaning of, and the relationship between, its two primary sections: a) the positively endorsed metaphysical arguments which describe some unified, unchanging, motionless, and eternal “reality” (Aletheia), and b) the ensuing cosmology (Doxa), which incorporates the very principles explicitly denied in Aletheia. I will refer to this problem as the “A-D Paradox.” I advocate resolving this paradoxical relationship by reading Parmenides’ poem as a ring-composition, and incorporating a modified version of Palmer’s modal interpretation of Aletheia. On my interpretation, Parmenides’ thesis in Aletheia is not a counter-intuitive description of how all the world (or its fundamental, genuine entities) must truly be, but rather a radical rethinking of divine nature. Understanding Aletheia in this way, the ensuing “cosmology” (Doxa) can be straightforwardly rejected as an exposition of how traditional, mythopoetic accounts have misled mortals in their understanding of divinity. Not only does this interpretative view provide a resolution to the A-D Paradox, it offers a more holistic account of the poem by making the opening lines of introduction (Proem) integral to understanding Parmenides’ message.

Along with essays like “The Novel Démeublé” and “On The Professor’s House ” it is routinely invoked to established a handful of central details about the writer and her emerging career. It is enlisted most often to support the degree to which Cather distanced herself from her first novel Alexander’s Bridge and established her second novel O Pioneers!

  • 2017 NSTA Physics Day Tutorial
    NSTA Physics Day Baltimore, MD, Friday 6 Oct 2017, Hilton Key 9 Handout: Investigating Electrostatics with an Inexpensive Electrophorus Robert A. Morse, 5530 Nevada Ave, Washington DC 20015 [email protected] NSTA Baltimore, 6 Oct 2017 Abstract: An "instrumented" version of Volta's Electrophorus is a versatile tool to explore electrostatic charging by both induction and conduction, and highlights the difference between insulators and conductors. By adding some inexpensive indicators of charge state and charge transfer, it is a useful experimental context for students to use a qualitative atomic model to account for the observed phenomena. A classroom set is readily assembled from common household/grocery store materials at very low cost, and can be used in classes from middle school through introductory college. Participants will carry out a set of activities to get familiar with the construction and use of this historically important device. Participants - up to 40. Introduction: There are several ways to electrostatically charge objects. Many students have experience with charging by contact - by rubbing things - and have a simple model in which one object takes charge from another. Many students also have experience with induced charge effects such as sticking a rubbed balloon to a wall. Very few are likely to have observed or thought about the electrostatic charging of a conductor by the process of induction. In this workshop you will have an opportunity to see how a simple atomic model and inexpensive equipment can be used to guide students to an understanding of the process of electrostatic induction, using the concept of electrical action at a distance.

  • Geneva, April–August 1593
    chapter 7 Geneva, April–August 1593 Thomson seems to have left Christmann’s house in Heidelberg in March 1593. We do not know when he arrived in Geneva, but he was certainly there by August. Henri Estienne, the great Greek scholar and Isaac Casaubon’s difficult father-in-law, was in Geneva during Thomson’s stay.1 Estienne had been absent from the city for eight or nine months when Casaubon wrote to Thomson in April 1594, a statement which allows us to deduce that Thomson had reached Geneva before August 1593.2 Thomson may have heard Casaubon speak pub- licly on the subject of the New World during this visit.3 In Geneva he knew the man who taught Casaubon Hebrew, Pierre Cheva- lier. Their acquaintance, however, cannot have extended beyond Thomson’s time in Geneva: he sent his regards to Chevalier in a letter of December 1593, and is informed of his death by Casaubon in April 1594.4 In his letter of April 1594, Casaubon also sends greetings from Jacques de Lect, a Genevan historian, lawyer and magistrate, and from Paul Estienne, the son of Casaubon’s father-in- 1 Casaubon married Estienne’s daughter Florence, but her father never allowed his son-in- law to enter his library: see Casaubon’s letter to Scaliger of 2 September 1598, in Botley and Van Miert, eds, Scaliger Correspondence, 2012, 3, p. 195; Pattison, Casaubon, 1892, pp. 30–32.

Smethurst, Professor, Department of Classics Dissertation Supervisor: Dr. Edwin D. Floyd, Professor, Department of Classics ii Copyright © by Christopher J. Kurfess 2012 iii RESTORING PARMENIDES’ POEM Christopher J. Kurfess, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2012 The history of philosophy proper, claimed Hegel, began with the poem of the Presocratic Greek philosopher Parmenides. Today, that poem is extant only in fragmentary form, the various fragments surviving as quotations, translations or paraphrases in the works of better-preserved authors of antiquity. These range from Plato, writing within a century after Parmenides’ death, to the sixth-century C.E. commentator Simplicius of Cilicia, the latest figure known to have had access to the complete poem. Since the Renaissance, students of Parmenides have relied on collections of fragments compiled by classical scholars, and since the turn of the twentieth century, Hermann Diels’ Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker, through a number of editions, has remained the standard collection for Presocratic material generally and for the arrangement of Parmenides’ fragments in particular.
